Design Notes

The MEXICO 66 takes inspiration from several classic running shoes, including the LIMBER shoes, which were designed in 1966 for pre-Olympic trials. The LIMBER was the first shoe to boast the Tiger stripes and were later delegated to the national Japanese Olympic team at the 1968 Olympics.

This look, taken directly from the ‘60s, but redesigned for the present, gives the MEXICO 66 its classic shape, slim styling and iconic design. Ideal for urban living, working and playing, it’s crafted from leather and suede reflective material and stitched with the legendary Onitsuka Tiger stripes.

AN ICON IS BORN

Ever since our inception in Kobe in 1949, we've been dedicated to designing shoes with the an attention to detail that Japan is famous for. From every stitch to every seam, we have always crafted our shoes with a focus on timeless design and a minimal approach. That's why some of our styles are almost 60 years strong and as still relevant today as they were back then. The Onitsuka Tiger of tomorrow is focused taking this knowledge and pioneering a new frontier of innovations and aesthetics.
